Brown/green shiny beetles on Rosemary - ?
Discussion
As titled. About five weeks ago we had a constant infestation of our potted Rosemary. Pretty much on a daily basis I was squashing the beetles which were eating all the green leaves on the shrub.
The beetles were a little smaller than a Ladybird and appeared to be almost like a metallic brown/bronze and mid green colour. I have never seen these before. Are they a native species not often seen and spurred on by the hot weather - ??
Anyone else had them?

(and they aren't native to the UK, they arrived in the 90's)
